Feature Request: Reorder subscenes with scenes #336

Description

@AllieWade

Describe the solution you'd like
When I use programs like Scrivener, a major part of my workflow is creating nesteed scene structures and reordering them as I figure out where scenes should live in the story. For example, I might have three chapters, each full of scenes, and want to move the third one to before the first one.

Unless I'm missing something big, this isn't easy with the current version of Longform, because moving a parent scene leaves the child scenes where they are. If I have a chapter with eight scenes and need to move it, I'll have to click and drag nine scenes (the parent and the eight children).

It would be much easier if there was a way to move the child scenes with the parent scene, whether that be through selecting multiple scenes, a modifier key, a setting, or whatever.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The main alternatives I see are either keeping entire chapters in one file (not ideal, since sometimes I want to move scenes from one chapter to another), or just dragging all of them one at a time and fixing anything I accidentally mess up in the process.

Regardless, thank you for a brilliant plugin.
